Mrs AdlamLauriston is a must for any family wishing to stay in Carbis Bay. Excellent location c/w stunning sea views from the balcony. The property is finished to a very high standard and there is ample space for the whole family. We hope to stay again but fear it's popularity will make that difficult as people arrive this year will no doubt wish to return too! *****

The tradition of Tom Bawcock comes from the feast or famine lifestyle of Cornwall. The story goes that it was just before Christmas; there had been no fish for weeks, the boats couldn’t get out into the raging storm, the village was starving. One man, Tom Bawcock, dared to take his boat out of the harbour’s safety. He returned with enough fish to make fish pie for the whole village.
Today, a festival takes place each year to celebrate Tom Bawcock's bravery. During the festival, Star Gazey pies are eaten in memory of this famous event.
